Spectator

There is nothing new this week in
France or Germany, except a procla-
nation by the Stakeholder of Alsace-
Lorraine, given below; but in Eastern
Europ the situation is Il trihe more
strained. It was believed that the
Ambassadors al Cnnstanrinople would
be HbIe to find u basis of agreement;
but the Russian Ambassador, NJ. de
Nelidoff, refuses, until N. Zankof
has formed one; and Nj. Ear
kcff, whO is merely his agent,
though nominaIIy a representative
Bulgarian, suggests only impossible
ties. Nj. de NeIidof appears TO be
expecting n revolution in Bulgaria,
and evidence has been published
in sofa showing that agents have
been sent there to secure one, but
failed, the military officers ap~
preached exposing the whole plot.
The latest rumour is mat Rus
sia is about to occupy Bulgaria, with
the consent of Germany and Austria
but that story, which would mean
that Austria had coaseped to a parti-
ton, may have been set about only to-
Irighten The Bulgarians, whose calm
stubbornness battles the diplomatists.
The Russian Panslasists, headed by
NJ. Katkof, are pressing hard for
occupation; Russia purchases var
materials, and her journals sympa.
thise with France but no final resolve
is apparent yet. All that can be
said is that nothing visible tends to-
peace.

satisfied the President of Venezuela that
his coup had ended in a iasco. Having
failed in his diplomatic efforts to get the
100000 for the land, and having equally
failed to carry his point through the mes
sage of the CenteRGriO, Mr.. Blanco felt that
the only thing left to do was to withdraw
his Minister from London and give Mr..
st. John his dismissal from Caracas; and
hold no tuther communication with peril
dious Britain. That Venezuela will again
attempt to take possession of the coast
lands by sending its officers there, we do
not think possible; the step would be so
senselesS Il Improbable. If the Carac-
cas- Government can show a fair claim to
the land in dispute, there is no reason why
the dispute should not be laid before arbi-
traitors to represent the respective claim
ants. 1t is significant however of the small
Importance Venezuela places upon it's
claim, that Mr.. BlancO was prepared to
abandon all right, title and interest his
country ever possessed in the two districts
in diSpute-the coast lands and the ESs6-
quebo-for such a paltry sum as 100000,
or the price recently paid for a Demerara
sugar estate. 1t looks very much as if
Venezuela had made a mistake in cOnced-
ing the lands now known as the Man0a
Concession and that the President wants
the sum mentioned above to Square mat
ters with the concessiOnists. If one quar-
ter of the amount had gone in this direction
and the other three quarters into a Vene-
zueIan treasury the division would have
been in accord with the financial traditions
of Spanish american republics. How the
concesSionists are to be smoOthed down
remains to be seen; and the enterprising
gentleman now in the colony already
alluded 30, ought to be amongst the
first to get the information. There is not
the remotest chance, we should say, of
Venezuela interfering with the coast set
Elements, and just as little probability of
any men in her pay, bouncing down upon
our gold diggers in the Puruni; but al
though the republic is not IN as unsettled
a state as it was when the COlOrados and
Amarillos used to have a revolution every
other week, yet it is possible enough that
the Governments annoyance with Great
Britain may encourage som of the lawless
spirits of the land to make irregular raids
on their own account upon the diggings.
For that reason our people ought to be
prepared to receive Spanish strangers in u
becOmingmanner, andiftheir entertainment
should require more time than the diggers
can afford, a score of COx's lambs should
be stationed i'll the district.-Dem. ArqoSv.

THE Illinois Weather Service furnishes
the following data concerning the effect
Of the weather upon the various crops
during the week ending July % as re-
ported to the Department Of Agriculture
at Springfield: Rainfall above the normal
was reported in but three counties-viz.
Winnebago, Carroll and Rock Island;
normal in the counties of Lee, Sangamon,
Washington, Hamilton, and Wabash;
none in the counties of Fulton, Schuyler,
Fayette, Marion, and Pulaski; and gen.
eral deficiency in the remaining counties.
The condition OF corn is reported as up to
or above an average in all the northern
counties except Putnam and Marshall, in
which there will not be even three-fourths
of an average yield per acre. In the
Central Division the prospects are good
for nearly an average yield per acre in
the counties of Pike, Brown, Cass, San.
CANON, and Christian. In Champaign
Douglas, and Schuyler there will be from
one-half to three-fourths of an average
yield per acre.

SOLID FACTS.

Nesting between the Owls Head and the
Tortilita mountains, Pinal county. Arizona,
are the twelve mines of the TortiIita Gold
and Silver Mining Co., which expose sufi-
Gent wealth of ore to run 2O-stamp mill for
years to come. During the past three years
5-stamp mill has produced nine tons of ore
daily, while 20-stamp mill will turn out
forty tons daily. Such a showing has caused
capital to seek possession of shares of its
capital stock. For shares of stock (which are
non assessable), information, etc., address
the Tortilita Gold and silver Mining Com
pany, 81 Broadway, New York. The shares
are two dollars each, and the company gives
the same attention to an order for one share
that it does to an order for five hundred
shares. If desired, certificates will be sent
by express, the money to be paid when they
reach the investor.

GALL the talk yesterday" says the Trib-
une, OF Monday, "thst the sheriff conniv-
ed at McGarigle's escape, was foolish and
nonsensicsl. The real truth is, a confidence
trick was played on him. Maj. Matson is
big, brave, fearless, incorruptible, gen.
erous, good hearted man, whose humane
sympatbies got the better of his judg.
ment. He is not suspicious and crafty
enough. That has been frequently dem
onstrated during the McGarigle trial.
He has often permitted both McGarigle
and Mcdonald to leave the Jail since
their conviction to see their families. The
exercise of his clemency in one instance,
where he permitted Mcdonald to at
tend his child's funeral-was generally
commended. The judge who tried the
case against the two men expressed ap-
proval Of this act. That no doubt en-
couraged the sheriff to further lenity
toward his prisoners. What seems mex
cusable is that McGarigle should be al
lowed to leave the Jail Saturday night
after the damaging testimony OF Lynn
and Lobstein against him from the wit
ness stand. McGarigle, of course, read
Lynn's deadly testimony OF the previous
day, and it convinced him that there
could be no hope Of new trial and that
there was no escape from the peniten-
tiary through the technical quirks and
tricks of the law. The only hope was to
fool the sheriff and make break for lib

FOREIGN.-The British Government
by its authorities at Dublin, have "pro-
claimed" under the coercion act large
number of certain counties, parts of
counties and towns in Ireland. In pro-
claimed districts any person may be
summoned before magistrate and exam.

there is any charge against any individual
as criminal or not Those charged
with crime may be summarily tried by
special juries.-Another "Unionist" seat
in the British House OF Commons is va
can't through the death of Robert Verdin,
member for one of the divisions of Che
shire. The Liberals expect to gain an
other man.-The great jubilee review of
British war vessels took place on Satur-
day at Portsmouth. Immense crowds of
officials and the general public, with
many Americans, headed by Minister
Phelps, we're present.
Mr.. Parnell now expresses the opinion
that the amendments to the Irish Land
bill made by the majority in the Com
mons will deprive the coercion act
of its worst features. He frankly says
the bill as amended will go long way to
alleviate the evils now existing in Ire
land, and believes the tenants will accept
it as satisfactory, and wait patiently and
hopefully for the larger projects the gov
eminent have in view.
The Reichsbank, of Berlin, from

serves or surplus of all the German
banks. 1t is also general clearing
house for other banks. A measure in
some respects interdicting or at least dis
crediting or discouraging loans on Rus
sian securities by this institution will
have wide effect.
Fugitives from Catania are spreading

POVERTY AND DISTRESS.

That poverty which produces the greatest
distress is not of the purse, but of the blood.
Deprived of it's richness, it becomes scant and
watery, condition termed anemio in med
ical writings. Given this condition, and
scrofnlous swellings and sores, general and
nervous debility, loss of flesh and appetite,
weak lungs, throat disease, splitting of blood
and consumption are among the common
results. If You are a sufferer from thin, poor
blood, employ DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery" which enriches the blood and
cures these grave affections. It is more nu-
tritive than cod liver oil, and is harmless in
any condition of the system, yet powerful to
cure. By druggists.
